Lorna's first book is a charming book that is almost an autobiographical knitting project book. Lorna invites us to join her on her self-discovery trip through knitting, friends and family. Each project has a wonderful story that

Lorna talks about something she knows a lot about. Knitting and using hand dyed yarns to their fullest potential. Hand dyed yarns are some of the most beautiful yarns in the shop. But knitting them up doesn't always turn out the way you envision them to.

Our spring retreat was last weekend. We where in a wonderful house, right on the PGA West Golf Course in La Quinta,Ca. The weather could not have been better for lounging, knitting, felting, eating, swimming, and relaxing with each other.

Enjoy the Photos

Day 1

started with a stop at Colors in Claremont Village. I love this shop. You can tell from the outside that you are in for treat!

The shop is small, but has

so many wonderful yarns!

The girls working there where the best

with 14 of us raiding their space.

They where very helpful and again

what a great selection of Yarn.

Our Abode for the Weekend is Fabulous!!

We spent most of the weekend outside by the water. Lots of great seatting.

Manning the Barbecue in the Dark on the first night.Notice the OTT light?

Conversation, glass of wine and

a great Kitchen.

Day 2

Does it get any better?

This is what we looked at on the other side of our bushes.

This is the PGA West gold course.It was closed for reseedingso we were able to take our golf cart onto the golf course.

Marie opened up her home, her garage and her washing machine for felting. In the line up where clogs, lots of clogs, hats and bags. There was a holiday spread in the house, warm apple cider on the stove and lots of conversation to brighten a cold winter day.

Sandy was first up with the washing machine

Sandy gifted Jenny with a pair of clogs. Do you think she loved them??

Many many clogs. Love these!!

I have to say that it was pretty funny to see us all out in the garage, wrapped in knitted accessories to keep warm while we knitted and felted away.
